This project showcases digital images of provenance evidence contained in rare books from the collections of Sion College Library, now held at Lambeth Palace Library. Here you will find images of bookplates, inscriptions, bindings, marginalia and other signs of ownership found in books dating back to the 15th century.
We also want your help! If you can help identify any our marks of ownership or if you are able to transcribe an inscription, then just leave us a comment.
